Peer suggestions and revisions


I do not have comments suggesting to make any modifications to my action research project, however, a comment by Lisa Howard “There is a correlation between the lost academic time or lack of academic success, and the offenders”, made me think that it would be an excellent idea to modify my plan to add an approximation study of the “down time”, which would be the time teachers devote to correct student behavior, multiplied times the number of students she/he has in the classroom at any given time, and reflect that approximation study in my action research plan.
Also Israel GM commented about a parent’s concern about the number of students in a classroom, stating that “the size of the class should be smaller than 25 to minimize discipline issues and provide more attention to the children.”
 Israel’s comment prompted me to consider the relationship between class size and number of discipline referrals, which at this point can be linked to teachers issuing the most referrals. This analysis will be included in my action research project as well.
